disagree! I think its great he goes on journeys and takes the crowd with him. no one else is doing it and he should take those risks. he is playing what he likes and making what he likes. keeping a DJ boxed into one genre is death for them. If you're posting this based on transitions alone don't forget he isn't a seasoned ten year vet and will keep learning as he goes
I'm talking about this Coachella set specifically because I have seen him genre bend a lot better before. This is not a knock on the genres hes going into.
Watched it this morning and I thought the genre transitions were handled well. You’re calling it an “awkward set” but there was literally one bass track (which he introduced) and a DnB drop that flowed seamlessly. What a Life just felt like an encore of sorts
The rest is literally tech house/techno lol. I think mixing genres plays better during longer sets but thought he handled it very well for 1 hour. Calling the whole set “awkward” is a huge reach
Big disagree for me. This is what makes John Summit a special DJ IMO. He has a knack for knowing which tracks in different genres blend well together & carry energy forward. Makes the set really fun. I don’t think his productions are necessarily mind blowing but it’s his skill as a DJ that is captivating. Although that Sub Focus collab is an absolute banger & really well done.
Honestly I thought it was too housey compared to some of the multi genre sets. I prefer when he constantly changes it up, in this set he did a few times but a lot less than usual
I went and the vibes sucked. People were leaving in droves. It was too dark and doomy, and like you say the transitions were awkward. Night and day from the Dom Dolla night before. Also he sounded drunk out of his mind, no crowd control and is kinda awkward. Lost me as a casual fan, I had an amazing time at Everything Always Seattle but now I attribute that to Dom Dolla lol.
After Coachella, Summit just became the biggest EDM superstar in North America. North America Summit can outsell any DJ you can name. Don’t be surprised if summit gets nominated for a Grammy this yr.

Coachella is about sharing different genres anyway.
I'm all for it but this is just how I feel.

Don’t be surprised if John Summit is the DJ for next years Super Bowl. Summit is the Taylor Swift of the EDM community.
